瘟疫的慢性處方 Interminable Prescriptions for the Plague | MOCA Taipei
2019.10.05 SAT – 2019.12.01 SUN 10:00 - 18:00 (Closed on Monday)
二十一世紀，遵循民主式公共衛生的教育策略，公民們採取自我保護措施、避免落入父權及專制，使用乳膠避孕套為掩護，以實現自由與理想。健康彷彿是德性的證明，疾病被視作墮落的證據，我們身處在「多疑的社會」——既使再多研究及當權者公開論述「疾病只是疾病，而不屬於任一群體」，相關的隱喻及污名卻從未停止；人類免疫缺乏病毒（Human Immunodeficiency Virus, HIV）感染者遵照醫囑與社會期待，每日吞服抗病毒藥物維繫生命、抑制病毒、杜絕傳染，此舉亦成為其與污名共生之暗示。醫學史學家羅伊・波特（Roy Porter）曾宣告「發生性行為不必負責任的日子結束了」，在所有公民皆視自身為單一血清個體的如今，無論感染與否，所有人似乎都對這場有感的「瘟疫」產出了一套與之共處的「慢性處方」。
本展覽由台北當代藝術館與社團法人臺灣感染誌協會共同主辦，由宿主計畫〈Humans as Hosts〉計畫主持人劉仁凱進行策劃，並與台灣數個HIV（愛滋）倡議機構與團隊共同合作，邀請國內外藝術家、研究者於該議題中進行探索及揭露。以MOCA Cube、廣場、電視牆及大廳為實驗場域，以多元展演活動解析展題，企圖以藝術跨越疾病，與參與民眾協同建立雙向交流平台；展覽閉幕將於世界愛滋日（十二月一日）發生，在對話、致敬與歡慶中落幕。
In the 21st century, contemporary public health education campaigns follow the democratic model. The latex condom has become a cover-up for self-protection against patriarchy and autocracy to fulfill freedom and ideals. We live in “the society of suspicion” where healthiness is somehow perceived as the proof of morality, while disease as the proof of corruption. No matter how many studies and those in power publicly state that “a disease is just a disease and does not belong to any group,” the related metaphor and stigma never end. To maintain life, suppress the virus and prevent infection, people infected with HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) take their prescription continuously under a doctor’s advice and social expectations. This also implies that they must coexist with the stain of a virus that the world still regards as a kind of moral failure. As the medical historian Roy Porter once announced: “The days of sex without responsibility were over.” Infected or not, since each citizen treats themselves as one serological monad, it seems that everyone comes up with their own “prescription” in coexistence with this perceptible plague.
The exhibition is presented by the Museum of Contemporary Art Taipei and Taiwan HivStory Association. It is curated by Kairon Liu, the artist-curator of Humans of Hosts. He cooperates with Several HIV initiatives and teams, and invites artists and researchers at home and abroad to explore and disclose the issue. Taking the MOCA Cube, plaza, TV wall and activity hall as the experimental fields, the exhibition attempts to step across the disease with art and establish a two-way communication platform with the participants. The exhibition closing will be held on World AIDS Day (1st of December), ending in dialogue, tribute and celebration.
